Entertainment from singer/songwriter Jane Baxter Miller (RTE Ensemble) and jazz bassist Kent Kessler
Jane Baxter Miller first made waves in the Chicago scene in the mid 1990’s with her folk/country duo Texas Rubies. Hers is a voice that captures the timeless ache that seeps up through the dirt and hills of her native Kentucky and evokes the spook and hope and wonder and joy of the forests and the moon. It’s a voice that can’t be taught and a voice that can’t be kept down, no matter how long she has made Chicago her home.
Kent Kessler records and tours the world with Vandermark 5, Peter Brotzman Tentet, and DKV Trio, and is a pioneer in the Chicago free jazz scene; and the preposterously talented Scott Ligon (Kelly Hogan, Nora O’Connor, Flat Five and every other band that plays at The Hideout, kick in organ and piano work.
